It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.

Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)

Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Sony’s FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens lacks versatility and fast speed, however we’ve given it a ‘Recommended’ rating because of its compact size, light weight, optical performance, and its build is better than average for a kit lens.

Having shot on Canon cameras my entire life I’ve made the move to Sony and now I must begin to start collecting glass again I bought the Sony a7c with this kit lens to get me started and I’m so impressed with the sharpness it’s obviously not great in low light but for well lit situations produces...

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Sony FE 28-60mm f4-5.6 is surprising in a couple of respects. One is that for a kit lens it has an extremely modest 2.1x zoom range. Is it enough? Only if you are prepared to compromise on the sort of shots you can get, or you tend to shoot in a narrow focal range anyway. That’s the bad news.

Ultra-compact design, Excellent performance, Fast, silent AF

Limited zoom range, Minimum focus changes with zoom, Quite expensive bought separately

I love it when my expectations are exceeded. While the tiny, inexpensive Sony FE 28-60mm f/4.5-5.6 general-purpose zoom lens did not catch my immediate attention, it made an impact during review.

Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 is a Variable aperture Auto Focus (AF) Standard Zoom lens with 35mm FF max sensor coverage, and it is designed to be used with E Mount cameras. What type of photography is the Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 lens good for?
